Tulipa 'Willem van Oranje'


The tulip shown above, 'Willem van Oranje' is a member of the double early group. It's a really beautiful bit of color, isn't it?

The plant itself is rather short and squat, but this is an advantage for tulips with such heavy flowers.

While the english translation is indeed 'orange', the official name of this cultivar is 'Willem van Oranje'.... Just thought you should know...
